ios 6.1.3 untethered jailbreak
Whenever Apple releases a new iOS firmware version, a fake jailbreak tool sprouts up on some corner of the internet. And this time iOS 6.1.3 has been the 'victim' of a so-called silv3rwind tool that claims to jailbreak iOS 6.1.3 firmware. The evad3rs dev team has also tweeted that this tool is fake and all users should stay away from it because it could be a potential virus that might infect your computer. Take a look the at the tweet from the evad3rs below...

Take a look at the tweet from evad3rs below. You can see my reply to evad3rs' tweet from my official twitter handle @naufidomino.

 Now we have recieved official confirmation from the evad3rs dev team regarding silv3rwind and it is now labelled as a complete scam, so keep your hands off it. Moreover, It claims to support iOS 6.1.3 on almost all idevices : iPhone 3G/3GS/4/4S/5, iPad 1/2/3/4, iPod 1/2/3/4 and also the Apple TV which is practically impossible as some these devices are way too old for newer firmwares.  

How this scam works 

I was successfully abe to reverse-engineer the entire scam just to make sure you know how it functions. 

  • The creator of this fake software either programs the tool himself in a windows-based programming language like Visual Studio or outsources the coding part. 
  • The scammer then packages the executable .exe file in a zip file and makes it password protected. 
  • Now, he makes another text file in the which gives the instructions to the user to complete a survey to get the password for the software.  
  • Users complete the survey and the scammer earns money.

Stay away from such scams and fake tools. I am watching a lot of gullible people asking us the password of silv3rwind's zip file. iOS 6.1.3 firmware can't be jailbroken at the moment successfully but you can downgrade iOS 6.1.3 to 6.1.2 and then use evasi0n.
